I was terrified…

…to look at you today.
See, I was scared of all the words I couldn’t say.
I was scared I’d fall into a million pieces,
and you would think that I was beneath this.
I was scared your eyes would crumble me to my knees,
and I’d beg for your love the way I would in my dreams.

And you would have me.

But I’m too scared to dream because dreaming hasn’t gotten me anywhere.
I’ve found that dreams don’t come true. They only linger when all is gone, so that they may haunt you and leave you empty.

And you won’t have me,
But I will remain yours.
